  I am an ELL myself, and after researching and test many apps, the best apps in my opinion is google translate and dictionary.com (premium version). The following 3 websites list many apps for ELL.

  I used google translate a lot in my classroom and for myself. When I had difficult students' names, I used google translate to help me pronounce their names so I can practice before I actually meet students. In class, when there are some difficult words, I just use google translate to translate from English to whatever language my students use.
  
  Dictionary.com is also a great app. I find that the sentence examples are very useful because it shows how to use the word.
  
  During this assignment, I found the app "OverDrive Media COnsole (OMC)" which connects your mobile device to any library that you have the library card. You can borrow any electronic items such as ebooks, audiobooks, movie to view on your device.
  
  I actually went to my public library today to get the pin in order to use the "overdrive" app. I actually like it a lot; I can borrow ebook and audio book. Library has many resources, especially big library like Boston Public Library. I recommend my students to borrow items, such as books, from library all the times. I told my Thai friends to borrow audio, books, or video for their children to practice English at home.
